About Me
I'm a Robotics and Automation Engineering student from Gujarat, India, currently working as a ROS2 Developer Intern at My Equation, where I build autonomous navigation stacks (Nav2, SLAM, EKF sensor fusion) in C++ and reverse-engineer closed embedded systems down to the schematic and firmware level. I build full robot stacks end to end: sensor and PCB-level hardware, embedded firmware, and autonomy software. I've independently delivered a client-facing autonomous deployment, designed a competition robot's complete hardware stack from bare PCB to final assembly as part of Team India at DD Robocon 2025 / ABU Robocon 2025, and shipped an open-source robotics tool of my own. My work spans STM32 & ESP32 firmware, ROS2 development, motor driver integration, IMU & encoder interfacing, communication protocols (UART, CAN, SPI, I2C), and autonomous robotics control logic. I'm building toward a research-driven Master's in Robotics, and I'm currently expanding into perception (OpenCV, YOLO) and locomotion (MuJoCo policy training, quadruped control).

June 2026 - Present
Rebuilt a campus delivery robot's Nav2/SLAM stack in C++ as composable ROS2 nodes, replacing a Python implementation profiled at 90% CPU on Raspberry Pi 4; root-caused a NaN/Inf laser-odometry instability via Tikhonov-regularized least squares and cut pure-rotation odometry error 61%. Reverse-engineered a commercial ESP32-S3 controller's closed-source firmware (Ghidra static analysis, live MicroPython REPL instrumentation) and independently designed its clean-room replacement schematic and firmware.
March 2026 - June 2026
Flashed firmware and performed end-to-end configuration and validation of AI-enabled dashcam devices under production deadlines; verified GPS, SIM/network connectivity, real-time video streaming, and camera calibration against a fleet-management dashboard.
September 24- August 25
Designed power distribution systems, developed custom PCBs, integrated motor drivers and sensors, and contributed to All India Rank 1 (DD Robocon 2025, IIT Delhi) & Global Rank 5 (ABU Robocon 2025) achievements.
